Both Jenkins and Tufano will bring insights and immense knowledge about social impact to the Faculty Board. “As both scholars and leaders in their space, Professor Jenkins and Professor Tufano’s deep expertise will enhance our board and our program.” said Brian Trelstad, ALI Faculty Chair and William Henry Bloomberg Senior Lecturer of Business Administration and Joseph L. Rice, III Faculty Fellow.  “As our fellows engage in an array of social impact strategies, and pathways, guidance from our diverse Faculty Board is critical.

We are excited to welcome them to our Board.”
